I bought a used delta 46-745 lathe. More lathe than I need but its a good problem to have. I was hoping I could get some help and advice in getting a hold of some out of service parts. Also need help on a frozen headstock eccentric lever
For parts I am looking to buy switch and switch plate, head stock lever.
Now for the help needed. The eccentric lever is frozen in place. It wont move at all. I have been putting WD on it for a couple of weeks now and gently tapping it to see if it would break its grip. So far no luck. Anybody have an idea of how best to loosen it. I think part of the problem is that I don’t have a level for it so I have been using a long bolt to try and move it. Thanks for the advice.
